Ok, I been wasting my time for too long now and saying I will gain some muscle but always seem to drop-off because of different reasons. I won’t state why here because I don’t want any negativity in this log. I had a log before which I will post the link to for more information on what I’m talking about.
I’ll be posting what my training and diet will look like. Next week will be the start of everything. I WILL DELETE MY ACCOUNT FROM T-Nation AND NEVER POST AGAIN IF I DON’T LIVE UP TO MY WORD(not that too many care but I love posting on here).
I appreciate any type of comments, tips, expriences and critique . I hope some of you stop by once in a while to say “wuz gud”.
this might look a little complex but I want to set a few rules because I seem to forget and fall off track…anyways I’m doing this for a good reason so here it is.
OATMEAL
TOMATOES
ONIONS
BEANS
BROWN RICE
FROZEN VEGGIE MIX
BANANA
APPLE
WHOLE WHEAT TORTILLAS
honey
ezekiel
low carb bread
simple carbs: bagels, white rice, white bread(for AM and POSTWORKOUT only)
RULES:
*at least 200g of protein
*Carbs anytime of the day on training days
*“off days” carbs in the AM only an NO SIMPLE CARBS
*not counting veggies such as tomatoes, onions or green veggies.
THE DEFENITION OF A CHEAT MEAL WILL BE:
*a mix of SIMPLE CARBS+FAT
*simple carbs(bagels, white rice, white bread e.t.c) taken any other time other than the AM or post-workout.
*Eating out without knowing the macro-breakdown.
*7 cheat meals per WEEK
*2 “off days” a MONTH in which I don’t have to measure or count my macros but still will eat clean for the most part. This is mostly for special occasions such as birthdays and holiday parties e.t.c.

Am I to understand you don’t combine carbs and fat apart from cheat meals? If so… why?
Good luck, anyway.[/quote]
Funny you mention that as I actually changed my mind this morning and will be deleting that part off “the rules”. Cheat meals will actually be considered SIMPLE CARBS+FAT and training days will most likely be carbs during the whole day and not just the AM/PRE AND POST-WORKOUT as long as there is protein in that meal.

5000 calories at 169lbs could be a problem if you do it too often. Maybe measure your waist every couple of weeks, set yourself a realistic limit.
What’s with all the low-fat dairy? Kind of takes all the fun out of dairy doesn’t it?[/quote]
Truthfully I don’t see me maintaining 5000 calories per day EVERYDAY. The first few days I’m expecting to be eating alot as my calories were low along with the carbs. I’m going to start drinking more protein shakes with fruit for a few meals to slow down on the calories thoe.
then I did some pull-overs, cable rows and some pull downs. good session but the only thing is that my grip needs to get stronger because I know I can dead-lift more but my grip just gives up.
DIET:
meal 1:
oatmeal
protein shake
meal 2:
2 peanut butter sandwiches
1 banana
meal 3:
2 tortillas with egg beaters, fat free cheese and beacon
oatmeal
1 steak tortilla with low fat cheese
1.5 cup of low carb chocolate milk
I ate a little less today. Close to 5000 calories again. Tomorrow is and off day so I will be going on my bike ride and eating low carb shooting for about 2700 calories.
Today is going to be the last day I’m going to eat like this. Thursday I won’t go over 3500 calories.

Why such high reps and sets on the deadlift? And why the hell are you cutting your calories in half on your off days?

My grip sucks so going heavier can take away from good form.
I wrote about the calories before, I’m not really cutting my intake in half because I wasn’t suppost to be eating 5000 calories a day in the first place :P. My calorie intake for training days should be no more than 3500 so thats an 800 calorie cut on off-days.

I see. Perhaps grip training is in order? Going for such high reps and sets on deads is a recipe for injury IMO. I know I couldn’t maintain form for 10+ reps and all those sets on this specific lift.

You are right about the form as today I had a slight pain in my back. What is a good set and rep range for deads including the warm-ups?
